School And Youth Notes

WILLIAMSBURG - Children at Norge Elementary School raised more than $360 in pennies, nickels and dimes to buy clothing for four needy children in the Williamsburg area, school officials say.

The students chose four names from an Angel Tree donation center at the K mart store on Bypass Road in Williamsburg and took donations during school lunches for two weeks, says Steve Mills, who teaches fourth grade and advises the Norge school student council.

Children received erasers or candy in return for their donations, which ranged from a penny to $1, Mills says.

Four officers of the student council took the money to K mart and bought clothes for the children. The Salvation Army, which runs the Angel Tree program, gave the clothes as Christmas presents to the four children.

"It was wonderful," Mills says. "We were totally amazed that the kids were so into giving."
